Chris Tucker's Future Projects

Chris Tucker, the man who hasn't done a movie that didn't start with "Rush Hour" in the last nine years, has announced that he has two upcoming projects all set up. According to RottenTomatoes, these projects are a long-gestating comedy where he'll play the President of the United States and a stand-up film in the vein of Eddie Murphy's "Raw."

"I'm gonna do this movie called Mr. President," explained Tucker. "I've been working on [it] the last few years. I'll play the first African American President. It's a comedy and it's gonna be a fun movie. Something I've always wanted to do."

He will also return to his roots in stand-up, which he continues to perform around the country. "I started doing stand-up before I got into the movies. I did about 20 cities to sharpen up before I did this movie, [to] get my timing back. I'm getting ready to do a world tour."

Regarding his second film: "I'll do 15 cities in the United States and I'm going to film it like a stand-up comedy film like Richard Pryor's 'Live in Concert' or Eddie Murphy's 'Raw'," he added.
